Ducky remembers a ViSIt with his Donald Duck doll to the Shriners chil- dren's hospital in Houston. He talked Duck talk to the kids to cheer them up. "Before we went into the ward to entertain, we'd gone into a few rooms of the children who couldn't come out," he says. "There was one lad in there, I'd say ten to twelve years old, maybe a little younger, who was cry- ing like everything. He seemed to be in awful pain. I mentioned to the gentleman, the R.K.O. field man who was handling the tour, 'I think I should go down there with Donald and talk to that boy.' Well, he said, 'No, the doctor might resent it,' but the nurse said, 'By all means.' So I went over and put Donald's face right in front of his face, where he couldn't Íniss it, and had Donald say, as loud as I could, 'Shad- dup!' He shut up right away and looked very startled. Then we had a conversation, and in two minutes he was laughing-forgot all about every- thing. The doctor said, 'Gee, thanks.' So that was one time a quack helped a doctor. Then, when I was on tour with Donald in Montreal, I'd have him say to the little girls, 'Got a kiss for me? Embrassez-moi.' Then Donald "ould kiss her. \Vhen a big girl, eight- een or nineteen, came along, Donald would move back and I d move for- \vard and kiss her. I used to have a lot of fun " D ONALD DUCK won an Oscar in 1943 for "Der Fuehrer's Face," an anti-Fascist gem in which The Duck dreamed he was a German mu- nitions worker who tnes to be a good German but gets in trouble with the Nazis for muttering "A w, heil!" The Oscar does not sit on Duck}'s Glen- dale mantel, because Disney kept it. In- stead, the mantel has two identical Donald Duck bronze statuettes on wooden bdses. One is from Roy Disney, \Valt's brother and business partner, and is inscribed "To Clarence Nash, in apprecIation of your continuous years of service., 1933-1969." The base of the second statuette bears the printed legend "Best personal wishes, \Valt Disney, 1952." (It was one of Disney's policies not to identify his actors in the credits for his animated shorts, which is why some people think that Mel Blanc is the voice of Donald Duck. Mel Blanc is the voice of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck, among others, and his name is in circulation because \Varner Brothers, the studio that packaged these characters, always listed Blanc in its credits.) Other arti- facts in Ducky's home-a snug house that sits near the hills of the Angeles National Forest, behind two lemon trees, whIch provide the lemons for Ducky's lemon-meringue pies-are a large ceramic Donald Duck ashtray, two small fire-opal Indian arrowheads Ducky got off an old-timer who lived to be a hundred and seven and lost hIS driver's license when he was ninety- nine because he was in an accident that wasn't hIs fault, a dozen or so gold nuggets Ducky found prospecting dur- ing time off from judging a beauty contest up near Oregon, some Mexican fire opals he's polished and set on the heads of nails, an Indian stone culti- vating tool, several fossils of sea life, and two stones from Oregon, shaped by the Indians up there in to the like- ness of human feet and used as moc- casin molds. Ducky has crammed most of his treasures into two glass-fronted cabinets in the living room. His wife, Margie, is always afraid the cabinets are going to burst open. Ducky drove us out to the place from the studio in his Chrysler one afternoon, setting the autopilot at fifty- five. Margie and Fritz, the schnauzer, met us at the door. Ducky presented Margie as "my little roommate," and she rustled us up some coffee and cookies. \Ve talked about the time a few years ago when Ducky and Margie opened a feed store and nursery In the neighborhood, and Margie showed us a clipping from a Glendale paper that saId, "Donald Duck's Voice Opens Feed Store." "Clarence has to have somethIng doing all the time," Margie said. She is Ducky's size and is pret- ty, with lovely grandmotherly silver half "\Ve worked nine days a week when we opened that store," Ducky said. "About three months later, I went to the doctor and he said, 'You ha ve no business being in business.' So I relaxed and started doing things dif- ferently, and pretty soon I got to en- joying that store a great deal, and one night I said to Margie., 'I don't think I'd ever want to sell that store.' She said, 'I don't think I'd ever want to.' The next day, a guy came in with an offer, and I sold it. \Vell, I got to thinking, Our help gets vacations, hut we don't" Margie started to say somethIng, but the doorbell rang. It was an eighth grader who wanted to wash the Chrys- ler. "Our class is having a car wash to raise money to go to Disneyland," the kid said. Ducky chuckled, told him the car didn't need washing, and slipped him a dollar. Then Ducky and Margie talked about their recent cross-country tour in the Nash Cabin, which has all the comforts of home except a shower, and how they' d enjoyed watching the hun- dred-and-first running of the Ken- tucky Derby. Margie told us that Clarence had been presented with the key to the city of Louisville and com- missioned a Kentucky colonel. Ducky told us that he was also an admiral in the Great Nebraska Navy "I've never made a million bucks out of my life," he said, "but I've been mighty com- fortable. " Margie smiled, and the phone rang. It was a neighhor lady. Ducky was helping her sell her house, and she wan ted him to show some potential customers around. Ducky made Fritz go get his leash. Then he leaned over and made a circle of his arms, and Fritz jumped through the hoop four or five times, barking fiercely. Ducky put on a ten-gallon hat and kissed his wife. "Well, 'bye, Mrs.," Ducky said. -TONY HISS AND DAVID MCCLELLAND . BEAUTIFUL 6' SOUTH American Boa Constrictor. Beautiful speci- mente Also, especially built large men.
